so im starting the install of my nos plate system. ive got the bottle mounted where i want it, the solenoids mounted, and the fuel system up to snuff.
the next step is plumbing it, which is where it gets tricky. i want to more or less hide the system, as my car is mostly a sleeper.

to that end, ive mounted the solenoids and fuel pressure regulator at the back of the carb where theyre hidden by my air cleaner, etc.
the supplied hose for the nitrous port on the plate is now too short to reach, so i need something different. i also have managed to avoid all braided stainless lines on the car. any braded is earls pro-lite black with black fittings.
im thinking that i would like to either do a braided pro-lite hose for my nitrous feed, or bend up spome hard line.

to that end, what size is this stuff? its the stanbdard cheater plate system. i got it used, but made a run on it before we removed it from the car so i know its all good.
what i need to know is what options i have, and what size i need to order from summit.
this is my first foray into nitrous, so please ne nice to the newbie.

The lines you need are 3 an. I would make them the same length, nitrous and fuel. If not at least real close.

Nitrous lines need to be teflon lined for the pressure. Hard line should be 1/8" or 3/16" w/ tube nuts & sleeves for -3AN (fitting size for the plate). NOS offers a variety of pre-made line lengths or Nitrous Supply will custom make lines of any size and length.
